Celebrate your love at Bayside

The City of Bayside welcomes all celebrations of love. Whether your wedding or commitment ceremony is traditional or contemporary, intimate or extravagant, Bayside has the perfect location for your life-long memories.

Only 15 minutes south of Melbourne’s CBD, Bayside is home to formal gardens, bushland parks, heritage buildings and a coast that embraces Port Phillip Bay.

From the charm of the Sandringham Band Rotunda to the vibrancy of the Brighton Bathing Boxes, there are 17 kilometres of stunning foreshores and beaches where you can toast to love in the afternoon and kiss as the sun melts into the sea.

You can commit to each other in the green summer shade or orange autum light of a park, or celebrate with your family and friends in the formal gardens of a heritage building.

With stunning photo opportunities and iconic landscapes, Bayside will help make your ceremony and celebrations unforgettable.

We hope you enjoy this guide to some of our most picturesque locations and we look forward to welcoming you to Bayside for your special day.
